The Fiji Bus Operators Association said they will be able trace passenger loadings in buses and would be able to determine the places where more buses are needed once the e-ticketing system fully comes into force.
President, Virendra Kewal said they are currently relying on bus drivers but are not getting correct information in regards to passenger numbers.
Yesterday, the Land Transport Authority stressed that more buses are needed in most places especially between Suva and Nausori as a number of overcrowded buses have been seen on our roads.
Some of these overloaded buses even had passengers standing on the doorstep.
LTA’s Spokesperson, Iliesa Sokia said bus operators need to act now.
